December 4, 2016. Aloha friends. We have been updating our website and social media to feature more of our Maui Tea Farm. The Maui Tea Farm is our organic tea and herb farm that we began in 2013, and slowly have begun to specialize in producing high quality, handcrafted, tea and herbal blends all grown on our property. We are one of the only growers and producers of tea (Camellia sinensis) here on the Island of Maui.

Our farm is located in the rich upcountry Maui agricultural region of Kula, and we purchased and began to plant our tea on our farm in 2014. Our farm and tea workshop is situated at 4,000 feet elevation, 30 minutes away from Haleakala National Park. At our farm, you will notice that the air is cool and the climate cloud-kissed, making it a perfect location for premium high mountain tea. We are pleased to begin offering small batches of our handmade Maui grown black tea for purchase starting mid-2017. With our unique location and gorgeous views, we also welcome tea fans to follow our growth and progress on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
